just built my first ebike
1000w 48v ebay kit
72v10ah battery from bms battery
72v 1500w hua tong controller
still needs tidying up a bit, better waterproofing, going to take the controller apart and remove the extra wires, connect ebreaks, and need a rear break cable because i converted it to disk too (already has a front disk)
but i figured it was enough to have a quick go in the back garden.... in the rain... in the dark... bad move
started out ok, was great, gave it full power to see what it's like... was awesome...
then i realised how fast i was going... (it's a long garden)
then... suddenly out of the dark... there's a wheel barrow infront of me... too late... can't miss it... no room to stop... I hit the front break anyway... came straight off... slid about 20 feet... wrecked my right arm and knee.... but was ok at first... just limping a bit...
but then my right arm started to hurt... a lot... and I can normally ignore pain.. figured it must be broken...
7hours in A+E.. its not broken... but I'm torn/messed up most of the tendons/ligaments in it.... can't move it at all without the pain making me want to pass out or puke...
but on the upside the bike was awesome.... really need a rear break and a helmet tho!!!
